NL West Notes: Gonzalez, Dodgers, Padres

Cuban right-hander Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez, who has drawn the attention of the Dodgers, has been declared a free agent and will have a showcase in Tijuana, Mexico on June 20th, a source tells Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com (via Twitter). The Cubs, Rangers, Twins and Red Sox have also been linked to the promising hurler.

Yasiel Puig is the talk of the baseball world and his Arizona League manager had some very high praise for him, writes Scott Miller of CBSSports.com. "I said, 'He's [reigning NFL MVP] Adrian Peterson.' That's how much God-given ability this guy has," Martin said. "That's the comparison I had to give. He's Adrian Peterson."

On the heels of the 2013 draft, MLB.com's Corey Brock took a peek into the Padres' war room. With the No. 13 overall pick in the draft, San Diego tapped Mississippi State outfielder Hunter Renfroe.
